The Celtics waived Kadeem Allen to make room for another two-way player earlier this week. Today, they filled that spot with Walter Lemon, Jr., a 6’3″ guard who spent some time with the New Orleans Pelicans and who played on their summer league team.

In the G League last year, Lemon averaged 22.4 points on 49% shooting in 40 games.
